title: [Power staple implantation--progress in the surgical technique of bone fixation].
abstract: Fixation with staples, which are driven into the bone by a special air-driven gun, provides a technical improvement over a hand-held device. Correct handling of the staple gun gives exact seating and placement into bone. Since January 1, 1988, this method has been used in 43 patients with good results and few complications.
